Andre Johnson has mild hamstring strain, is day to day

Coach Gary Kubiak said today Andre Johnson’s MRI showed a mild hamstring strain and the receiver will be “day to day” for Sunday’s game at Cincinnati.

“We’ll know more when we see him Wednesday,” Kubiak said about the first day of practice. “We feel very fortunate.”

Johnson missed six games after undergoing surgery on his right hamstring. He suffered the strain in his left hamstring in Sunday’s 17-10 victory over Atlanta.

If Johnson can’t start, he’ll be replaced by Jacoby Jones for the seventh time this season.

Punter Brett Hartmann is out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. They’ll have to work out some punters before signing a replacement. Kubiak said former Texans punter Matt Turk is a possibility.
